Students at Mason High School participated in Ann Curry’s 26 Random Acts of Kindness. The campaign was organized after the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut last December.

The goal of the campaign is for students to commit to do random kind things for strangers, one act in memory of each of the 26 students and teachers that were killed in the shooting.

“I know certain people that almost fear going to school some days and we really want to get rid of that and make them excited to go to school, see their friends and have a number of friends,” freshman Shaun Mitchell said.

The class of 2016 wants to become the "Class of Kindness" with the goal of each student performing one act of kindness each day.

“Like telling someone they look nice today, just like boost their self-esteem or if they're having a bad day, sit down with them and talk about it,” freshman Jordyn Mitchell said.

The class goal is to reach 4,000 random acts of kindness by the end of the week.

“Help someone pick something up that they dropped or help make everyone feel like they're at home when they're at school,” freshman Cassidy Miller said.

After each good deed, students place a blue dot in a bin. Each blue dot equates to helping less fortunate people in the community in terms of a monetary donation to the class.

The nonprofit the class choose to donate to is Tender Mercies, an organization that helps the homeless and mentally ill.

The class’ other goal is to be the kindest school in America.
